Byproducts of glycerol metabolized by bacterium

*Abstract: With the recent surge in biodiesel production, glycerol has gone from a relatively rare commodity to a heavily overproduced waste product. Many major chemical and agriculture companies have been attempting to find high yielding conversions for glycerol. One of the major processes is the conversion of glycerol into 1,3-propanediol byway of microbial metabolism. There has been success in identifying strains of microorganisms that can conduct this reaction; however, it may not be commercially feasible as the raw glycerol product needs to be treated. For economic feasibility, the process must be able to convert the raw glycerol product into 1,3-propanediol with limited treatment. We have identified a species of Halanaerobium that can convert glycerol into 1,3-propanediol at a pH of ~10.5-11 and at a salt concentration of approximately 7% (w/v), conditions that are similar to that of raw glycerol. Furthermore, with supplementation of vitamin B12 (an essential component of the enzymatic reaction), the yield of 1,3-propanediol to glycerol can be increased to at least .47/1 mol to mol.
